Rain forest of Olympic

The rain forest in Olympic National Park was really awesome. There was no rain and the sun was out but the ferns and moss were still dense in this part of the park. The trail “Hall of Mosses” was an easy walk and had lots of great vegetation but of course pretty busy and a lot of people. I took this looking up at the mosses draping over the maples.

Close to the Sun

Here is another photograph that was taken at the brewery. The field was really nice to see and it was a long field but not very wide. It was a pain to cut across it since there was a lot of stinging nettles in the field, plus some of the flowers were 5 feet tall and right in your face in some spots. The storm clouds were rolling in closure and started to pour five minutes before this shot.

A time at Black Rock

It is hiking time. Hiking is really something that I enjoy and of course capturing photos. Black Rock is a short hike within Shenandoah National Park. It was something to relax on, easy walk, short and a place to sit and have a 300 degree view.

Kia Ride

So I had a Kia Optima 2017 that was my rental for our Washington Oregon trip. It was a nice ride that I put 2,500 miles on in two weeks. It was an upgrade from the car I drive at home. The rental over there was a lot more expensive then getting one here in Richmond. I took this shot on the road side in the John Day Fossil beds which is really a great place to check out in central Oregon. There was hardly anyone out there which was nice and quiet.
